Don't cry, just fly


In a life void of butterflies and rainbows,

a cloudy-eyed girl grows.
 
Her sustenance maintained,
yet no happiness gained.
 
loud noises crawling in her ear,
she'd rather be anything, anywhere but here.
 
Clenched fists matched with a frown,
the only way up is to first go down.
 
A cold floor harbors ugly things,
but still a woman stands and sings.
 
Once broken, now alive,
this woman will learn and thrive.
